Orilheira, gruelos and potatoes composed the carnival meal remembered by Maria da Conceição in February 2011. It is a documented family memory, not a menu available all year round. Potatoes and grells cooked in the water of the meat; the earpiece returned to the container at the end, before serving with olive oil.
The collection allows us to follow the passage between generations: Maria da Conceição was born in Cavez and lived in Recovos, Pedraça; she had learned this dish from her grandmother. In 2011, the gas stove and stainless steel pots were already part of her kitchen, while the fireplace was present on special occasions. The testimony shows a tradition that coexists with changes in utensils.
